Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 95: Superfluous
"You are such a... fool."
Hearing this, Sibyl sighed and commented.
Then, without waiting for the other party to reply, she continued:
"Let's go, I don't have much time."
As she spoke, she stretched out a finger and pointed at the entrance of the tunnel, where a barrier relying on the magic power provided by the World Tree blocked them outside.
Sibilla did not chant any spells or perform any rituals, but a faint magical light flashed on her fingertips. Then with a casual flick, the barrier blocking the tunnel disappeared in an instant like a thin spider web.
Nezemal could feel that the magic power on the other party's fingertips was only at the scale of an ordinary mage apprentice.
However, with just a light stroke, she easily wiped out this powerful magic barrier.
Should we say that this person is worthy of being a member of the Judgment Seat? Even if it is a will from thousands of years ago, temporarily controlling a weak body, it can still show its extraordinary ability.
This is truly a performance worthy of the first group of saints who followed the Eighth Holy Spirit...
Nezemare secretly exclaimed, and then she couldn't help but clench her fists.
As one of the first followers of the Eighth Holy Spirit walking on earth in this era, when will I be able to reach the same level as them?
"Back then, I re-investigated the colonization history of the forest elves' ancestors and found contradictions in their records. On the one hand, the belief in the Dark Mother Goddess of the Earth did exist, which was confirmed by Nehe in the ceremony. But on the other hand, if Ravenwood was really a land of the dead filled with all kinds of corruption before the arrival of the forest elves, as they recorded, then this would conflict with the conditions for the birth of the Earth Mother Goddess."
As Sibyl spoke, she walked deeper into the tunnel. A ball of light emitting soft white light floated in front of her, illuminating everyone.
The Mother Goddess of Earth, who devours her offspring and returns life to its origin, naturally needs natural conditions where life flourishes to the point of overflowing before she can be born.
"These things are all mentioned in the information you left behind. Although I still haven't figured out how you realized the possibility of another history, and that Lady Hungry and Corrupted is the origin of the entire forest elves..."
Remedios spoke , and now her voice had returned to her usual calm tone.
"According to the Chief Judge, my eyes are unique in the world. At that time, I did not understand the true meaning of 'unique'. It was not until much later that I realized that no matter where these eyes are, in which possible period of history, no matter who owns them, as long as they are within their field of vision, I can observe them... It is based on this principle that I invented the technique to send information from the abandoned timeline to the future."
The "Eye of God" can be said to be a true vision of God that lives up to its name.
"Of course, as a mortal, I can only see the two extremes of maximum and minimum. The minimum vision is based on my own perspective, judging what might happen next, which is equivalent to a short-term future vision. The maximum vision allows me to see another possibility of the existence of history."
The latter is often manifested in the form of dreams.
For example, in the past, Sibyl had a nightmare that the Chief Judge betrayed the real world and became the thirteenth Void King at the cost of a blood sacrifice of the entire Judgment Seat. But strangely, in that dream, the members of the entire Judgment Seat had changed a lot, and the Chief Judge in the dream was even a woman.
But Sibylla could clearly feel that the man's soul was the same as that of the judge.
I guess that was a wrong timeline that was destined to be cut out, just like she is now.
Pushing this unpleasant memory out of her mind, she continued:
"Generally speaking, when there is a contradiction between historical records and the current situation, I would assume that the ancestors of the forest elves tampered with the historical records, thus causing the contradiction. But when I used the soul box of Nehe as a medium to observe the past and tried to use my talent, I saw in my dream that Ravenwood had two pasts, and they existed in parallel.
"After waking up from the dream, I conducted a verification through the two souls in the soul box... Come to think of it, do you still remember the last project I was working on?"
Sibylla said this and turned to look at Remedios.
Remedios shook her head. How could she remember so clearly the details of events that happened more than a thousand years ago?
Seeing this, Sibilla's face showed a resentful expression for the first time.
She sighed and said:
"Well, since you don't remember, that proves that my original research has not been passed down to this era a thousand years later. In a way, this can be considered a good thing. At least it has not been ruined by those people in later generations..."
Even though she said that, one could still hear a strong sense of regret in her voice - the research that she had thought would bring about a huge change in the future seemed to have not made even a single splash. Anyone who knew about this future would feel this way.
"Cloud mapping of the soul cycle in this world - used to explore how the souls of mortals who are not qualified to enter the kingdom of God participate in the great cycle of this world after death."
Sibilla spoke a little faster when she got to this point:
"The final conclusion is enough to overturn the most authoritative hypothesis in the academic world that the 'Wheel of the World' is the hub of reincarnation, thereby reshaping the entire system of storm and undead magic from the root... If relevant information is left in real history, it should be possible to find relevant records through the guidance of the [Eye of God]. Remember to remind the chief judge later...
"I've strayed off topic a bit, let's get back to the Soul Box. My research involves the field of soul's parental inheritance. After analyzing the two remaining souls in the Soul Box, I used parental regression to look for their parents in the sense of soul. In the end, I concluded that their souls had been sealed in the Soul Box for five thousand years, and they showed characteristics very similar to the void incarnation of the Hungry Lady Camilla."
After walking a distance, they were blocked by the second barrier. Sibilla used the same trick again and broke the blockade with powerful magic power. Her movements were as easy as using a master key to open a lock.
"These things were not explained clearly in the information you left behind. You only gave me a conclusion, and you left without saying a word."
Remedios complained.
If not, why would she seek help from the Takma Cult later...
"There's nothing I can do about it. If I hadn't verified my guess at the time, I wouldn't have the chance to tell you this now."
Sibyl replied.
"What conjecture? Can't you even wait for me for a few more days?"
In response to Remedios's question, Sibylla shook her head with a heavy expression.
"There are conjectures about the end of the world. It's not that I don't want to wait for you for a few more days, but I really can't wait for you for those few days..."
Before she finished her words, the three of them passed the last corner and arrived in front of the last barrier.
The last defensive barrier left by Nehe was an absolute defense reinforced by the pinnacle frost spell [Anti-Entropy].
Among the magic casters alive today, including William, there are probably only three people who can open this barrier.
But when they arrived here, someone had already got there first.
"Fularo" who had left earlier and the bishop Sigmund of the Second Church were now at the other end of the barrier.
The latter was currently holding a twisted tool with the holy emblem of "Mother" printed on it, and was carefully trying to remove the "Heart of Oak" from the bracket.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, "Flaro" turned around.
The surprised expression lasted only for a short moment, and then she smiled at the visitor, pointed at the barrier covered with misty white fog, and shook her finger.
You can't get through.
The look on her face said so.
"quick."
Remedios immediately turned her head to remind her, but Sibyl's actions were even faster than hers.
With a hazy white cloud in her eyes, Sibyl's hands instantly lit up with several precise magic spells. At the same time, the barrier also lit up with ice-blue magic spells, intertwining with it.
But the two forces only touched slightly, and Sibilla's face changed immediately. She turned to look at Nezemar beside her and asked hurriedly.
"Did the judge come here before when he went down to the underground root system?"
Nezemar recalled and seemed to have mentioned it in the words of the presiding judge, so he nodded.
"That guy who likes to add unnecessary details!"
Sibyl cursed with gritted teeth, and then magic spells more densely packed than before lit up around her body again.
"What's wrong?"
Remedios asked in confusion.
"When he came here before, he must have used destructive means to open the barrier. And before he left, I don't know what went wrong in his mind... It's probably because of his incomprehensible obsessive-compulsive disorder that he added a new barrier here, and even reinforced it with three layers!"
As Sibilla spoke, the white film in her eyes began to swirl wildly like a nebula.
It might take less than a minute to undo the old and dilapidated barrier set by Neh, but it would take at least ten minutes to break William's barrier.
Not to mention the fact that those two guys got there first, there was a big question mark as to whether I had even ten minutes left.
"What would happen if they got the Heart of Oak?"
Remedios, who was standing by, asked as she put an arrow called "Karma" on Liuliyue.
After hearing what Sibilla said, she began to think of the worst.
"It takes two months for Lady Hungry and Corrupted to be born, and the other one should be on the other side of the timeline. But if both fall into their hands, then they only need to get the souls needed for the reincarnation ceremony, and they can recreate the stupid things that Neh did back then."
"That's terrible, but it doesn't seem that bad..."
After Remedios finished speaking, she released the bowstring in her hand, and the arrow named "Cause and Effect" instantly drew hundreds of different trajectories in the air, looking for a path to penetrate the bishop's head.
